Question

When should we stary trying to get pregnant after a miscarriage?

Share

We miscarried last week for the first time and I was 6.5 weeks along. It was by far the worst experience of my life and we're trying to get through it. I know that so many other women have it worse and we're trying to be grateful for what we have. That being said, we want to start trying right away. My doctor recommended that we wait a full cycle before we start trying again (due to an increased chance in a second miscarriage) but I have heard a ton of stories about people who got pregnant right away after their miscarriage and went on to have healthy pegnancies the next time. If anyone has any advice, I would appreciate it so much. Also, if you could share what helped you emotionally get past your loss, I would appreciate that too.

I miscarriaged almost 2 years ago at about 6 weeks, I was recommended to wait one to two cycles. After a miscarriage, it can mess with your menstrual cycle. It did with mine for a few months. I would wait just to make sure your body has gotten back to normal, before trying again.
